|
Big shout out to the person on Floras lake today (purple Rally I think?) Who rescued and beached my kite! After avoiding a collision and ejecting I beached my kite to untangle the lines and had to de-rig. I put some sand on the kite but the wind still picked it up and blew it down the lake. You rescuing my kite saved me having to drive around and look for it.
I guess the day I spent launching and landing kites in LA Ventana because of a cut leg paid off...good karma is always an aly.
Lesson learned? When it's windy make sure that the kite is sitting flat on the ground so wind can't get underneath the leading edge, and put more than just a scoop or two of sand on it.
Great to be part of a community that looks out for each other.! |
